Asus Strix GTX 980ti Weird Noise

[EtaCarina]

Hello,

Recently my Strix gtx980ti started making a weird noise when in games. The noise seems to be coming from the very left fan. I have attached a youtube video with an audio sample:

Anybody knows what could that be?

Grateful,

Ren

Sounds like plastic on plastic. The fan blades are probably hitting the edge of the shroud. Maybe the shroud or the fan is misaligned? Or maybe there's something stuck in the shroud or the heat sink fins into the fan blades.
